A Long Day

A little bit bigger sister Hedi and a little bit smaller brother Jorma spend a beautiful summer day at their grandparents’. Every moment of the day offers children the joy of discovery. One moment Jorma finds that the stream is like some kind of a creature that comes and goes but you cannot see its tail; another time the children hold a wiggler in their hands that tickles.
The children feel sad when the day is ending but they decide to hold on to everything that happened on that day and not to forget beautiful things.
“A Long Day” is regarded as the most beautiful of Iko Maran’s books; its third print is illustrated by Silvi VĂ€ljal.
